Nitrous is starting to perform-Update for 1/4 mile!

[Hurdy]

Thought I'd resurrect this as I've just done a run with the new settings now I'm feeling better.

Shonky 0-60 as I was being careful off the line as it was slightly uphill and I have to have the traction control off for the NOS. Also the rear speaker is in along with the added weight of the NOS system means the car is almost the same weight as if it had the rear seats in instead! NOS kicks in at around 50mph, but a picture tells a thousand words.....



            St2+  NOS
20-40    1.5     1.6
30-50    1.4     1.5
40-60    1.7     1.4
50-70    2.0     1.3
60-80    2.3     1.7
70-90    2.9     2.1
80-100  3.2     2.5

30-70    3.4     2.8
60-100  5.5     4.2

As you can see the main difference is in the 60-100mph and is truly ballistic, with a decent launch 0-100mph in the 8's is on the cards.

A 4.2 second  60-100mph is faster than.....

Ferrari F50 at 4.3
Porsche 996 GT2 at 4.5
Ariel Atom Supercharged at 4.5
Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera at 4.6
Lamborghini Murchielago LP640 at 4.6
Nissan GT-R Spec-V at 4.8 seconds
Audi R8 V10 at 4.8

You get the picture


Before the performance box reset I noticed that the standing 1/8 mile speed was 97.7mph and the 1/4 mile was 14.0 after backing off and dropping back down to 74.5mph.

Seriously looking forward to the next Pod day. Interesting times ahead

Some highly impressive figures there!!!

Wow!   

Hurdy are you coming to the RR in Leeds this Saturday?

[R32UK]

Looking forward to the results from a full test!!

Unfortunately not I can't get out of my rostered morning shift, so I'm working till 2pm

Just put me down for a solid 400+bhp

Last time I was there I did 340bhp, but there have been a few changes to the car since then and that is before the NOS

Hi John,

Just had an email from JKM re the dyno day and they don't allow NOS on their dyno and didn't want you to drive a long way for nothing.

[I got your message.. Am in recording studio this evening (with 2 young girlies.. Singing sisters )].

Did they give a reason?

Oh, and I expect pics of the "singing sisters"

holy sh!t.  you need to get on a 30-130 day, you'd shock a few guys there lol.

anyway get all your dynos in the new dyno thread

[Poppa Dom]

Great news John, knew it would be only a matter of time and patience to get it bedded in and performing as it should. Just a shame I will not be at the August pod meet 

[Rich]

HURDY come to the next York raceway....

HURDY come to the next York raceway....

I didn't think there was anything until the end of August?

I've just dug out the April 2009 EVO magazine where they put 4 cars against each other

Regal's GTI when it was 407bhp and 380lbft did 30-70 in 4.5 and 60-100 in 6.3 through the gears

Regal's BT VXR at 420bhp and 406lbft did 30-70 in 4.7 and 60-100 in 6.5 through the gears

Regal's S3 at 400bhp and 342lbft did 30-70 in 4.1 and 60-100 in 6.5 through the gears

I'll forget the Focus ST as it was slow

Mine - Approx 400+bhp and 400+lbft did 30-70 in 2.8 and 60-100 in 4.2 through the gears (DSG  FTW )

To give them a little credit, they did the test in freezing and wet conditions, so I'd guess those figures you could knock a second off, but as it was cold they should have had better intake temps and less heat soak as it is 25.5 celcius today!

DSG makes a huge difference to times and good to see you got the NOS working although damp conditions may play more of a part than heat soak imo especially with 400+ftlbs through the front weels.

My gripe is that they always test high powered FWD cars in inappropriate conditions and then the RWD and 4WD supercars abroad in the nice warm sunshine.
